In these trying times anything that can make life better should be warmly embraced and so in the spirit of warm embraces I have compiled a list of hacks for you to make things a little smoother.

Have you ever the strap of your flip flops pull through the sole while you were at the beach or something? It's pretty much the worst. Grab the bread out of the picnic basket and remove the square plastic bread tab. Push the flip flop strap back through the sole and then place the bread tab around it underneath the little nub at the end of the strap. This will keep it from pulling back through!
